The Blue Room captures the heartbeat of Kansas City’s historic Jazz District through bold color, dynamic movement, and expressive form. The painting portrays a jazz bassist immersed in his music, his elongated hands and sweeping motion echoing the deep rhythm of the night. The glowing golden tones of the bass contrast with the cool blues and reds of the surrounding city, drawing the viewer’s eye into the intensity of the performance. Behind him, the iconic buildings of 18th and Vine frame the scene, grounding the piece in a place rich with musical heritage. Through its exaggerated perspective and vibrant energy, this work celebrates the soul of jazz—the improvisation, passion, and connection that make it timeless.
